In a strong call for international cooperation and the cessation of unilateral pressure, China has urged the United States to immediately and fully lift its long-standing blockade and sanctions against Cuba.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning emphasized on Thursday, June 4, 2026, that the United States should heed the widespread calls of the international community. The spokesperson stressed that the current measures—including blockades, sanctions, and various forms of coercion—exert undue pressure on the Cuban people and hinder regional stability.
This diplomatic push reflects Beijing's ongoing commitment to promoting a fair and equitable international order. By calling for an end to the blockade, China aligns itself with a global consensus that seeks to replace restrictive economic policies with constructive dialogue and mutual respect.
The statement underscores the importance of adhering to international law and the sovereign rights of nations, highlighting the need for the US to shift its approach toward Cuba to foster a more peaceful and prosperous environment in the Western Hemisphere.
